Whipping boys is a worthy discussion, I’ll start it and avoid derailing here

70 million isn’t a lot
Not sure why Jones would be only valued at 35 million?

The value for Jones seems way too low to me. I really hope he signs an extension.

And I completely agree, 70M is not what it used to be, so if we end up selling Cody for that sort of sum, it’s just what 40M was a season or two ago!

Understandable really. He’s just a young kid.

Wirtz’s rough first year can’t have painted the potential move in a positive light either.

Honestly I think it’s a good decision by him. From what I saw the plan was to sign him then loan him out again immediately probably to Leverkusen. I’d be wary about that kind of pathway if I was him. Lots of very talented kids have gone straight into the elite team loan army and faded away.

I’d prefer to stay at a club where I was a permanent player, develop there and then try and move up a level.

As for us it makes sense that we are trying to grab players earlier since if someone like Eichhorn is the real deal then one good season and he’ll be getting quoted at 100m in today’s market… but I don’t begrudge the kid from rejecting the huge move at this point in his career.

Probably end up at Bayern in the future.

There is absolutely no truth to reports suggesting that Kennet Eichhorn has rejected Liverpool. The reality is that discussions remain ongoing, with the main complexities relating to legal and regulatory structures surrounding signing-on payments and compensation mechanisms sought by the player’s camp, while Liverpool’s interest remains as strong as ever and the player’s long-term desire to join the club has never changed, with all parties continuing to explore solutions that could ultimately pave the way for his dream move to Anfield.

The original plan always envisaged Kennet Eichhorn spending time elsewhere before eventually arriving at Anfield due to the well-known legal complications surrounding underage transfers following Brexit, with Liverpool initially intending to sign the player before immediately loaning him out, while current discussions, involving Liverpool, the player’s camp and several potential destination clubs in Germany, are focused on an alternative route towards the same long-term objective, one that could see him permanently join a German side, with Bayer Leverkusen among the possibilities, before a release clause becomes active within a defined timeframe, potentially allowing Liverpool to complete the move at a later date once the relevant legal, regulatory and contractual considerations have been resolved.

For Liverpool, such a structure would provide a clear and legally secure route to secure a player they continue to value highly, while for Eichhorn it would preserve the prospect of one day realising what those close to the situation describe as his dream move to Liverpool Football Club, a club he has admired since childhood. The story is not about rejection, despite what certain mouthpiece reporters have attempted to portray, but about finding the appropriate legal and financial framework to facilitate an outcome that all parties have broadly been working towards from the very beginning.

Perfect reason for us giving him a wide berth.

I don’t really believe what looks like it’s been AI generated but Florian isn’t that reliable eithier.

So I guess we will see.

Those articles don’t take context into it at all and so wouldn’t survive any sort of scrutiny.

As I said, if you want to compare Salah’s performance to the period when we did not have a natural attacker (after Isak’s injury and further after Ekitike’s) that’s fine. Yes, we could barely score without Salah when the others were out and our goals dropped without them. For those few months, we were dependent on Salah.

All I can say is, it’s not convincing. Otherwise we would not be so open to letting him go.

I agree with what @Sweeting said in his video. That it probably worked out best for us. We needed some headroom in the salary space to revamp the squad and it’s the end of the great Klopp cycle so it was good that we parted ways as amicably as possible with our legend Mo.

I’m making up a rumour myself here. Apparently, Mourinho wants bring Calafiori to RM as he played under JM at Roma. If that were to happen, then that might put Huijsen’s place in the team at risk. RM might even try to get rid. In that event, I wonder if he’d fancy being reunited with his former coach?

Well, there aren’t any other rumours rolling around at the moment.

I could see Mourinho not being that interested in having a young central defender as one of his trusted guys. Liverpool already have two of those, so I’m not sure they’d go for Huijsen as well. But you never know.

It’s a solid rumour this, I like it. Just keep them coming, get yourself a blue tick account, and you’re in business.

Well personally I like the rumour. It’s high in the unreliable percentage. High in its unlikely to ever occur and very high in media savvy 1+1 =3 when it comes to LFC. I think you cracked it.
